The double-weave softshell fabric cuts out the worst of the wind but is still highly breathable so you don’t get too sweaty when you’re pushing hard. It’s also treated with an environmentally friendly PFC-free water repellent to fend off light showers and trail spray.

With a 4-way stretch and articulated legs that bend with you, the Floe Trousers allow you to pedal all day without restriction. The fabric’s double-weave fabric is soft against your skin and helps to wick away sweat to keep you comfortable. We’ve also added zipped thigh vents to help you control your temperature or if you need to cool down quickly after a long climb.

A slim fit reduces flapping in strong winds, but there’s still enough space in the knees to wear your pads underneath. The cut is tapered towards the ankle so you don’t snag the hem in your drivetrain, with a hardwearing semi-elasticated hem and reinforced inner ankle patch. Integrated elastic waist adjustors stop your trousers from slipping down mid-ride.

Rated 9 out of 10 by mbr magazine, they say: “Alpkit’s mountain bike trouser is a success, it comes in multiple sizes and leg lengths too, meaning it’ll fit skinny long-legged types as well as shorter, chunkier riders. It’s nicely styled too. Other brands need to sit up and take note of the Floe Pant and its multiple leg lengths.”
